Isn't it just a small stipend? Nothing you could live on, even if houses were burning down 40 hours a week.

Nah, macOS isn’t great, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Windows. You can at least use Homebrew etc without needing to get permissions to install WSL2 and such.

Pedestrians don’t always have the right of way, but the majority of drivers don’t want to kill pedestrians, and so most will still yield… Isn’t that why jaywalking is a crime in the US? Sweden law says that cars are required to stop for people at the zebra crossings (övergångsställe), but at passageways without zebra (gångpassage example) it’s the pedestrians who shall yield to cars. Basically, a passageway is to be considered as a part of the roadway (you’re not supposed to run out into traffic), whereas a zebra crossing is a legal extension of the sidewalks (cars supposed to yield to people on sidewalks). However, way too many pedestrians don’t understand the difference. In practical terms it shouldn’t make a huge difference, because you should always reduce your speed and be alert when nearing any kinds of crossings, and we usually have speed bumps directly before many passages… but still. If someone collides with you at a zebra walk, they’re almost always losing their license, and maybe a couple years in prison if you got badly injured. But if you walk out into a non-zebra passage and a car doesn’t see you in time, you can actually get fined if the police are feeling cheeky, as you didn’t yield to the car/your behavior thus caused the accident. So no, pedestrians are definitely not menaces. But if we want to continue to reduce traffic injuries, it’d be nice if both groups were a bit more concentrated and respectful.

I assume this is the US? Is it really cheaper for the company to import chicken wings and some cheese, or why's it not domestically sourced? I don't get it.

In late 2026 we’re going to have ETIAS as well, becoming more and more like USA.

Yeah, the card issuers are already making bank from the interchange/issuer/processing fees, as well as interest if the customer eventually isn’t able to pay their full balance in time. But if you’re a perfect person and always pay your full balance every month, there’s literally no negatives with a credit card as a normal consumer. It’s usually even a better alternative, as if something goes wrong, a credit chargeback is much quicker and easier than a debit chargeback.

A legally required age verification will be introduced. We want this to take effect as soon as possible to prevent minors from using BNPL. Wait, it’s legal to put minors into debt in the Netherlands? In Sweden, a minor wouldn’t be liable to pay any such invoice, as minors can’t sign any legally-binding agreements without their guardian’s consent.

PARKTRONIC has existed on Mercedes for like 20+ years… how is it an unreasonable assumption that you would have such a feature if reversing impacts your stereo volume?

Isn’t that due to parking assist beeps? Turn that off and see what happens.

It’s called snus.
